Are there any mocking libraries that support the .NET Compact Framwork.

Question

I was just wondering if anyone has found a mocking library that can be used with the .NET compact framwork.

I have tried Moq but it doesn't seem to work, I did a quick Google search but couldn't find anything useful.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Unfortunately the .Net CF doesn't support IL emit, or compilation (via CSharpCodeProvider or such). The better mocking frameworks use IL emit, the older ones use CSharpCodeProvider - both of which are not in the CF.

I would venture to say that it is impossible to write a CF mocking framework (unless someone ports Cecil to CF and uses that to create assemblies on the storage card, and then loads those up dynamically).

The answers to this question may be of use as well.
